WOMEN AND THE VOTE
} AVE women made the best use of the vote? Whatever differences of opinion there may be on this question, there are probably few nowadays who would deny women’s rights in the matter, though there was a time when the New Zealand Parliament heard spirited argument against the extension of the franchise--the lighter weight of women’s brains and even Divine revelation on the subordination of the woman to the man’ were among the points raised. But all that was more than 60 years ago, and to mark the 60th anniversary of women’s franchise in this country a panel will be heard on Monday, September 14, discussing the use women have made of this vote, This discussion will be in Question Mark, the national discussion programme heard from YA stations (except 3YA in the meantime) every Monday at 8.30 p.m., and members of the panel, broadcasting on this occasion from the studios of 2YA, will be Mrs. Beatrice Beeby (who will be in the chair), Miss Catherine | Forde, of the Correspondence Schouvl, Miss M. Petricevich, of the Maori Affairs Department, and Mr. R. Hardie Boys. :
